Survey The River
Build the lens first: who wrote the book, when it was written, who heard it first, and why it exists.
Question 1
What sin is being indicted, and against which covenant?
Question 2
What judgment and what promise are tied together here?
Question 3
How does the messianic horizon reach into this oracle?
